Griffin offers PowerJolt auto charger

The PowerJolt plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter outlet and features a USB port to accept an iPod shuffle directly. The $24.99 charger also comes with a 48-inch Dock Connector USB cable that lets you use the PowerJolt with iPods and iPod minis.

“The PowerJolt auto adapter allows you to take your iPod on the road and listen to great music while keeping your iPod fully charged,” says Griffin. “The PowerJolt charges your iPod whether it’s playing music or in standby mode, ensuring that you’ll arrive at your destination with a fully charged iPod.”

I have a Griffin PowerPod which looks exactly like this except it says PowerPod on the side instead of PowerJolt… what’s the difference? :S

I had the exact same thought, confused. I bought the “PowerPod car charger” or whatever, which functions in exactly the same way as described and looks exactly the same. Same price, too….

There are similiar products for less than $10.
BTW, it seems there are at least two differences between powerpod and powerjolt:
1./ the name :D
2./ the warranty (1 year for the new powerjolt but 2 years for the powerpod).
